I was referring to the earlier poster who said he cannot afford an SSD. And getting an SSD for <$100 is absolutely, positively worth it.
Oh hai, try investing in some reading comprehension! I said I have TWO SSD's - one was purchased solely to be used to load games. I then determined that the "increase" was negligible given the cost and amount of games I could store. Having 3-4 games load quicker isn't worth giving up the storage. Just because you can get one for under $100 doesn't mean it's worth it - maybe if you only play one or two games, but why limit yourself.
Only bad thing about having a SSD is having to wait (jumping up and down) 20-30 seconds before the start of a new round :biggrin:

I have an SSD with windows on it and everything else on HDD and windows boot time is awesome but that's about it, nothing for game loading times(regardless of game on the SSD or the HDD). Do you need to have the games on a second SSD to get a truly good effect?
No, it should significantly lower your game load times too. I bought an SSD about a month after BF3 came out and my load times were cut by more than half, I was previuosly using a 1TB WD Caviar Black. I have a friend using a 640GB WD Caviar Black and when we play together Im always into the game much quicker than he is. Im usually waiting 20 seconds for the round to begin while he is lucky to get in before it even starts. Granted, his entire rig is slower than mine so that probably plays a part.I have an SSD with windows on it and everything else on HDD and windows boot time is awesome but that's about it, nothing for game loading times(regardless of game on the SSD or the HDD).

Maybe I misunderstood, but I think he meant that he couldnt tell any difference even when the game was installed on the SSD. :hmm:yes you need the game content on it, for it to matter when loading the game files
Here you go: His new video explaining the lost features. He uses 2142 instead of BF2, so inb4 future theme haters.

hahaha...I remember those days. I wasn't a big fan of the futuristic setting, but I used to love talking out those walkers with the Koening, and trying to take out the Titans.
We should have a retro Battlefield night. 1942, BF2 or 2142.

I ran across this the other night while playing with Zargon.
For the CITV is that 3rd seat dependent on the tank driver or the passenger?

You can access the CITV station anytime you're in a tank as long as the position isn't currently occupied. If you join a tank that already has a driver and gunner you'll enter the CITV station by default. Moving your sights over the tank will give you the name of the driver and the number of occupants inside the tank. If the driver of the tank has CITV unlocked the vehicle will show as having 3 slots, 2 if CITV hasn't been unlocked. You can use that tidbit to guess how skillful the driver is.
Fuck me...
Conquest on Metro, I though I had a great game. 50 kills, 16 deaths, 3rd highest score on my team, 5th overall.
And my skill is -131.09? Apparently this metric is not simply related to the K/D ratio.
